The
re is a difference between our vision of success and our thoughts. Our vision is creative but so are our thoughts. Being aware of the thoughts we have about our vision and our goals (personal, professional, etc.) will make all the difference.
For example, your vision is to double your revenue in 2010 and within one second your thought is “But that won’t happen!” Your thought just replaced your vision.
Another example, I was working with a client, Karen, this morning. She is planning to move her offices and she was feeling stressed about finding the right fit for her business. She did not believe she could have what she wanted. As an intuitive I know everything we experience is the result of our vision, our thoughts or others thoughts. My focus is always to help you find and see your vision.
Compromising Your Vision
I asked Karen to describe her vision of the new office space. I expected to hear her vision for her company and how this new space would support her goals for the next 5 – 10 years. She began to tell me what she wanted then immediately describe all the compromises she would need to make. Why did she believe she had to compromise? As I listened to her intuitively I saw her deciding and believing what she wanted could not happen and so she was creating a vision that “would do”.
As a business intuitive I urge my clients to notice when they are creating their vision and when they are creating something as a result of the energy in their space. It took time working with Karen to create a clear and true vision of the new office space based on what she really wanted. During the process I worked with her to recognize, release and clear all the pictures and energy that were in her way.
Thoughts That Argue
If you notice carefully you will find this for yourself. Bring to mind one of your goals or visions and notice that within seconds the mind and your thoughts will come up with 20,000 reasons why it can’t happen exactly as you want it to. These are false thoughts though it is our tendency to pay more attention to these than our vision. This is how we get in our own way.
Hold Your Vision Exercise
From the an intuitive perspective success comes from having a clear vision of what you want without knowing at this point how to get there. Just create and see your vision. Release and let go of any thoughts that fight or want to alter your vision. Hold your vision then allow your success to manifest.
Best wishes on your success,

Most see success as something that will happen in the future. “I will be successful.” Or we believe that when this or that happens then “I will be successful!” We create in our mind ideas that limit our success. We get in our own way. Whatever we believe or imagine is exactly what happens thus success is always in the future or our success depends on one thing or another happening first.
Vision
As an intuitive I pay attention to how we use our energy and if we are achieving our goals. Those who are most successful are those who have the greatest ability to focus.
For the most part we have our attention in the future, our plans for today, this week, this year, our vision of success and more. Having a clear vision is a very important aspect of creating. We cannot manifest without this.
Ego was the driving force behind businesses in the last century. That is all changing as the culture of business changes. Success today comes from a more value based and socially conscious model, providing a good product or service to the benefit of customers and clients.
As business owners we work hard to create good impressions and cannot afford a bad one. We pay attention to our branding, our marketing materials, office space, physical appearance, cars and more. Image and impressions are everything!
What are gut feelings?
Yesterday I was mentoring the owner of an interior design firm. She was ready to take her business to the next level. Issues she wanted to address were the addition of new staff, new office space, implementing a new marketing plan, etc. I saw intuitively that she was smart, had clear goals and understood the importance of having a clear vision. I also saw that her business plan was ready to move forward.
I just have to tell you Susan’s story because it is so familiar and I see it so often. Susan is an amazingly capable professional working for a large national organization. In recent years she began to feel dissatisfied with her work not because there was anything wrong with it but more that she was ready for new challenges and to move closer to her next dream job.
Yes, I mean fix the door. When your business is slowing down you can look for all the logical reasons why that is. Sometimes the cause has nothing to do with your business but with another aspect of your life. From an intuitive perspective our business is not separate from us. It is part of who we are and what we are creating. Intuitively I see that every aspect of our lives, our relationships, health, home, family, etc. affects the other.
Times are a changin! We are in the tenth year of the new millennium, the millennium of the “2”. That may not mean much to you at first but from an intuitive perspective it represents a significant change that everyone is experiencing. Concepts that drove the last millennium (1 –1999), the millennium of the “1”, were the importance of being first, on top, the best, faster, bigger, more, etc. This last millennium was dominated by male concepts that brought us tremendous growth, expansion, advancement, competition and success.
One of the best times to use your intuition is when you cannot decide, the answers you are looking for are not obvious or your find yourself successfully defending both sides of your own argument! You have been thinking, discussing it with others and still you cannot tell the right way to go or which decision to make. This is the time to stop thinking! Sometimes logic cannot provide our answers either because we are not neutral to the issue, our own thoughts and emotions cloud our thinking. Sometimes we cannot decide because of the pressures from other people or competing interests.
Do you find your time taken with responding to one thing after another? Do you feel that stuff keeps happening to you and you wonder what is next? Who is creating all of this? Successful business owners and professionals know this well.
You know the feeling. You decide to take a big step or take a risk in order to move forward. You have a clear vision. Intuitively you know it is the best step. You make the decision. All of a sudden you break into a cold sweat and a world of doubt washes over you. Were you wrong? Was your decision too impulsive? Why do you feel like you just made a big mistake?
It may seem like a strange concept but trust me it works. Successful business owners have a balance between their body, mind and spirit. It works something like this. One aspect of a business owner is as a visionary with a creative idea and the undeniable urge to see this vision manifested. This brings out the the organizer side of the business owner. The organizer side takes this vision, adds color, texture, and has a passion to make it a reality. The organizer grounds our business in a physical reality. The organizer, or our analytical side, creates the structure for our vision. Finally, there is the do-er side of us. This is the side of the business owner that knows how to provide the product or service of our business.
The recent Monday Meditation was very enlightening. We focused on enjoying our business and enjoying our life. What is not to like about this? Everyone was excited by the possibilities. In reality meditating with this in mind was not as easy as everyone imagined.
